Abdominal Liposuction in Maxiplástica
About the clinic
Abdominal liposuction at Maxiplástica in Porto Alegre and São Paulo, Brazil, is a body contouring procedure focused on removing localized fat deposits. The clinic holds TEMOS accreditation, which recognizes high international standards for medical safety and outcomes. Patients receive care from a surgical team that has performed over 15,000 operations.
Procedure Details and Methods
Liposuction is designed to contour the body rather than serve as a weight-loss tool. Surgeons at Maxiplástica can remove fat up to 7% of a patient's total body weight. The procedure lasts between 1 and 5 hours, depending on the volume of fat removed. Doctors use epidural, general, or local anesthesia with sedation to keep the patient comfortable. The surgery involves small incisions measuring 5 to 10 mm. These are placed in hidden areas like the navel or under swimwear lines to make scars less visible.
Recovery and Results
Post-operative care is highly structured to help the healing process. For medium or large volume procedures, a drain is used for 3 to 10 days to manage fluid. Patients follow a diet plan created by a nutritionist to support their immunity before and after the surgery. Physical therapy coordination and scheduled follow-up visits help monitor progress. Swelling is normal after the operation, and the skin typically retracts and settles between the third and sixth month. If a patient has significant loose skin, the surgeon might suggest combining the treatment with an abdominoplasty.
Expert Surgical Team
Dr. Paulo Chrisóstomo is a specialist in plastic surgery and body contouring at the clinic. He works within a team that uses the infrastructure of Blanc Hospital and São Luiz Hospital. These facilities provide the safety equipment needed for complex body sculpting. The medical team tailors each surgery based on whether the case is classified as small, medium, or large port. This classification depends entirely on the volume of fat and the specific areas treated, such as the hips, inner thighs, or abdomen.

Maxiplástica: more details about the clinic
Maxiplástica is a private plastic surgery clinic with branches in Porto Alegre and São Paulo. It operates across two medical centers and manages three specialized departments. The clinic provides aesthetic and reconstructive surgery through a team of two surgeons, including Dr. Paulo Chrisóstomo.
Surgical Statistics and Accreditations
The medical team has performed over 15,000 procedures throughout its years of practice. This reflects long-standing experience in both body and facial surgeries. The clinic holds TEMOS accreditation, which signals a commitment to international quality standards.
All surgeries take place in credentialed hospital environments. The team partners with Blanc Hospital and São Luiz Hospital to ensure patient safety. These facilities provide clinical infrastructure for complex operations and recovery monitoring.
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
Specialists at Maxiplástica create individualized plans for body contouring and facial rejuvenation. The clinic rejects standardized surgical approaches. Surgeons adjust techniques based on the patient's anatomy, life stage, and recovery goals.
Body Contouring Procedures:
- Abdominoplasty to remove excess skin and abdominal fat.
- Liposculpture using filtered fat to fill and contour specific body areas.
- 360 Liposuction for fat removal around the torso.
- Panniculectomy to remove large folds of hanging skin after weight loss.
Facial and Aesthetic Procedures:
- Rhinoplasty including osteotomy techniques for nose reshaping.
- Blepharoplasty to correct droopy eyelids and remove under-eye bags.
- Facelift (Rhytidectomy) for facial rejuvenation and skin tightening.
- Chin and jaw reshaping using menton and maxilla implants.
Body procedures like liposuction take one to five hours, depending on the fat volume treated. Surgeons also perform otoplasty for ear correction and various combined surgeries.
Breast Surgery and Mammology
The clinic treats conditions ranging from aesthetic concerns to functional tissue development. Procedures in this department typically last two to three hours. Surgeons use local anesthesia with sedation. General anesthesia is available if needed.
Breast procedures offered include:
- Mastopexy to lift and reshape sagging breasts.
- Breast augmentation using silicone or saline implants.
- Breast reduction to decrease volume and relieve physical discomfort.
- Gynecomastia surgery to remove excess male breast tissue.
Gynecomastia treatment addresses tissue growth that occurs during hormonal changes in adolescence or later life. Surgeons can remove just the fat or the entire mammary gland.
Personalized Care and International Patient Support
Maxiplástica provides structured support from the first consultation through final recovery. A nutritionist works with patients before surgery. This specialist creates a diet plan to boost immunity and speed tissue healing.
International patients receive continuous follow-up to reduce uncertainty during their stay. The clinic provides educational videos to answer common recovery questions. The medical team also coordinates physiotherapy and individualized protocols for returning to activities. Guidance for driving or resuming work is based on specific healing evaluations.
